Hand Tap 1/4" BSPT Bottoming HSS

Toolex 514298 Hand Tap 1/4" BSPT Bottoming HSS

BSPT is based on the Whitworth thread form - a symmetrical V-thread with an angle of 55°. BSPT has been widely adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipe ends by mating an external (male) with an internal (female) thread. The thread diameter increases along the length of the thread allowing the coupled pipes to form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other.
